What's This Course About...

We are so excited for this course...we wanted to tell you who this course is for (and not for), why we created this course, and what you are going to get out of it.  Check this out...


Are you Ready to Learn...

-How to improve your response during emergencies

-How to handle all things post-event

-How to prepare before an emergency event happens.  


Listen, we have done a great job as an industry of training lifeguards, but there is a huge gap between lifeguard care and EMS.  As an operator, manager, leader we need to be trained on how to better manage, respond to and recover from events.  What we do pre-event, during-event, and post-event matters.  

We want to share with you are learnings from years of operating and hundreds of accident and drowning event investigations what we have learned....and what we wished we would have known as operators.  

Commit to...

the confidence that comes with knowing what to do pre, during, and post events.

We know…unfortunately, bad things can happen to good people and to good operations, and we need to invest in ourselves and our team to harness the impact these events can have.  We don’t want you to learn how to handle emergencies by going through it.  We want to give you tools, insights, perspective, knowledge and confidence to prepare you now.
